Today Epson America, Inc., a leading supplier of value-added point of sale (POS) solutions, announced that it was named Best Channel Vendor for the fourth year in a row in Business Solutions Magazine’s 4th Annual Best Channel Vendors Survey published in the January 2012 issue. From mid-September through early October 2011, Business Solutions Magazine collected 10,833 votes from nearly 4,300 reseller organizations, making it the largest survey of its kind.

As in last year’s survey, only the top 5% of vendors in each surveyed technology category were selected for this year’s winner list. Resellers named Epson Best Channel Vendor based on feedback obtained from seven categories including Service/Support, Channel Friendly, Channel Program, Product Features, Product Reliability, Product Innovation and Adequate VAR Margins. Channel partners were asked to rate vendors on a scale of 0 (worst) and 5 (best). Epson’s top three scores were: Product Reliability – 4.49; Product Features – 4.37 and Product Innovation – 4.27.

“At Epson, supporting the channel is a top priority, so this recognition means a great deal to us,” commented Mike Helm, Director of Sales for Epson’s Business Systems Division. “We remain dedicated to helping our resellers cultivate their businesses with innovative, reliable solutions – and we offer depth and breadth of product to ensure success in a number of vertical markets.”
